Who the fuck is Thomas the 'Train'?
YouThinkThatsBad
I like how these are all listed as facts, yet the Thomas the Train one reads very skeptical ... "apparently..."
adrxmeda
Some of these are pretty obviously wrong.
flufmasaflex
You don't restore lost memories, you remember them. You just couldn't before because of lack of (for lack of a better word)key search words

Cool stuff outside of that, fave forgot

One of my first and fondest memories apparently happened when I was 2.5 years old. Several family members confirmed this.

I love the smell of grass in distress...

Who are they calling for help?
Kharv
On the contrary, when you cut a deer open, the smell is not a distress signal, it's because you cut an animal open, and the smell comes out.

That one about memories before age 4 is simply untrue. I have memories from 1 yr old. Have confirmed them with family as being accurate.

So what happens if you are more than 70 miles from the sea in England? Do they arrest you?

The same level as OP's Mom's farts.
AlexStylin
Wouldn't it be logarithmically increasing because decibels are a logarithmic scale, though?
321FuckMe
well it probably compensates for that in some way
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Just because decibel is a logarithmic scale, doesn't mean you can steadily increase along it.

I distinctly remember my first memory when I was four. I woke up one day, and everything before that was black. It was surreal.
UsernameDoesntEndTheWayYouThinkItBlowjob
I remember my mom sitting me and my siblings down to tell us our dad had ALS and was going to die (i was 3)
YouThinkThatsBad
Could be that your mom told you about that story a couple times as a youngster.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
i have memories from before i was 3. i remember living in my 2 story house and giving my rottweiler a sucker at the bottom of the staircase
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
i know it was before i was 3 because we moved to a different house- which i also remember. the previous one is my earliest memory, though.
csilver24
I was 2, my brother was just born, my older brother and I were playing with my moms hospital bed. I call BS on everything before 4 is false
Joonbug
Yeah, I have a hard time believing that one. Especially given that some folks can learn to read and understand complex concepts at 18 mos.
ThatDwarfWhoStealsYourOpinions
They can learn at that age, doesn't mean they have conscious memory of it.
Joonbug
Right, but the ability to form memories happens as young as 18 mos. Though most are surely lost, it seems reasonable that a few might linger
Randoohma
Any memory you have before the age of 4 is not real? what the hell I remember my 3rd birthday and my family confirmed it. False Information!
PlasticMac
Or false memories. They exist and are easy to form.

I fell out of a 2 story window when I was 2 and feel like I remember why I was leaning out and what I was trying to see.

I had chicken pox & was playing outside. Mom said, "Get in here, you're sick!" I remember a surge of joy & love at the sound of her voice.

Traumatic events are remembered more, pain helps us remember things. Like when they stuck a needle in my dick when I was 2. Remember that.

I remember falling down two stairwells with a scooter in my hands when I was two and a half years old. Almost scared my mother to death.

Well if done perfectly, a Rubik's cube combination can be solved in 1 move.
tpgreyknight
What a scrub. I can solve one in zero moves!
johnson21
Well is it really solving it then? :)
tpgreyknight
If we define "solution" as a sequence of moves that ends with a solved cube, then there is a trivial case with a zero-length sequence. QED!

"Cellophane, television, the moon landing and World War II". One of these things is not like the others.

That has GOT to be a typo for cellphones, clearly.

It's not. I remember reading the article on them. No cell phones in 1978, but they were amazed by cellophane.

You'd be amazed by many things if you lived in the stone age.

Yeah, cellophane, television and WW2 are real.
Crumpus
Nah, you got it mixed up. Moon landing, cellophane, and television are real. It was WWII that didn't happen
kingtyrion
Hows that?
Crumpus
Idk, it just irritated me that he was implying no moon landing
SucksToSuckNerd
What the fuck is cellophane?
Crumpus
OP probably misspelled "cell phones". Cellophane is a shiny metallic/plastic wrap used in many snack foods, like rice Krispy treats

Well if they were discovered in 1978 then no one would have knowledge of cell phones. I know what cellophane is I was just following the
kuramiqnko
I call bullshit on hot water being heavier than cold, that's junior high physics; also the black hole sounds far-fetched to say the least...
TheFluteFromBandCamp
Hot water is heavier because of the stored energy in the form of heat. Same reason a charged battery weighs more than a dead one
JordD04
I think this point was supposed to be more about density, water is strange in that it expands when cooled down instead of contracting.
Knast
Regarding 1100dB shockwave: Remember that dB is a logarithmic scale, so 1100 is a LOT more than 10 x 110dB. The water one is BS, though.
YouMustBringUsAShrubbery
No that one is actually right if you assume a given amount of volume because of changes in density. However, the molecule itself doesn't
teddlesee
Cooling down water below 4°C will lower it's density, but everything over 4°C is less dense again.
vegio
*its density
teddlesee
Why, thank you. I've been typing rather fast and homophones tend to slip through from time to time. Your feedback is much appreciated.
bluejolt
Mass is a measure of amount of matter, and matter is neither created nor destroyed. Simple physics.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Not entirely true.
ConspiracyCritic
Black hole one seems reasonable. Every 10 dB is a power of 10 for intensity. 50 is 10x greater than 40. 1000 range is not really possible.
MsMax75
It's denser, not heavier.
beartato
By E=mc2, 1100 db energy is insane and putting all of that into one area = putting the same amount of mass into that area.
dagg3r
Considering every time you raise by 3db you are doubling the intensity.. 1100 db is a fuck load of energy. Though black holes don't destroy
TheChosenOne77
The black hole one is possible but maybe not how they say it is. There was a guy who made small ones using sound waves in his garage.

Small ones... SMALL ONES?!
haybringer
You know, casual pocket black holes. The kind you'd whip up for a Sunday brunch.
mudstew
I don't know a lot but wouldn't there be more water molecules in a given volume of cold water since the particles are moving around less?
darkspork
Unless its frozen. Then it expands during the change from liquid to solid.
bluejolt
Regardless, mass is a measurement of amount of matter. Not the amount of matter in a given volume, that's density and is different.
Zaxthran
Because water is a polar molecule, it forms a hydrogen bond when it gets cold, that limits it's ability to contract
GetBackToWorkYouFool
But hot anything has more energy than a cold equivalent, and since energy is directly proportional to mass (E=mc^2) there would be more mass
GetBackToWorkYouFool
As long as "heavier" implies more mass
bf3c
the amount of energy for that is not enough to be significant. from freezing to boiling 1kg, the change in energy is 418400J or 4.7E-12 kg.
bf3c
so 0.00000000047% of the mass of water - far below what most any scale can measure.
elethomel
yes this here. most pertinent response around. thanks bf3c
MogseyInnit
It's not heavier, it's less dense, which means there's less mass per unit area.
ihaveapunningclan
*unit volume
TheFluteFromBandCamp
And would mean lighter
Keekuli
No. The weight would remain the same and volume would grow larger
macpon7
Only if the volume is kept constant. If you were heating the water in a pot, the water would expand slightly rather than become heavier.
earlywormy
The amount of energy produced from a 1100 db shockwave would contain enough energy to form a singularity, not enough to destroy the Galaxy.
AtlasUnbound
Though it would have a notable effect on every stellar object in our local area.
earlywormy
Absolutely
TheRealHMint
No, it would not. The only force linking us to stellar objects is gravity and that woul dnot change.
AtlasUnbound
Gravity...wouldn't change...if there was a black hole near us... Wow. I could try to explain how wrong you are, but I'm almost out of charac
TheRealHMint
A black hole the mass of earth would exert exactly the same gravity as... earth.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Hmmm, I wonder what black holes and gravity have to do with each other...?
Sharkalanche
Ripped from reddit: The thing about the black hole is just that a sound with that many decibels would require energy on the magnitude (cont)
TheRealHMint
But a black hole does not destroy the galaxy. The galaxy does not care how dense a bunch of matter the mass of earth is on a local scale.
Sharkalanche
of 10^98 watts/meter^2. That's enough energy, that if it were condensed in the same spot, would produce enough gravity to form a black hole.

The one about the memories isn't true. My mom has a memory from when she was 2. Then she asked my grandmother and she was deemed right.

I remember my 3rd birthday. My grandma brought in a box and helped me pull out a huge teddy. I lay on it and hugged it. Clear as day memory

No, it's not true. I have memories from 1 year old that are accurate according to family that were adults at the time. Can see them clearly.

Is the same as remembering a place. And if I'm correct, we don't forget things. It's just buried in our subconscious mind.

No she had described the house and everything around her. The way you could describe what a person looks like. Remembering people (1/2)

Most likely because you all kept retelling the story so which causes you to reform the memory.
